2. 'BASIC COMMANDS' There are a couple of things the game looks for when you type a command, and understanding this is essential for you to get anywhere in the game. SHORTCUTS: You do not have to type out the entire word in the game for it to understand what you want to do. Just type enough letters and it will understand what to do. For example, instead of typing "ATTACK GOBLIN" you can type "A GOB" and the game will figure out the rest. Sometimes you may need to type two or more letters so that the game can differentiate between two similiar commands. IGNORED WORDS: The game accepts full sentence input where possible, but be aware that the following words are (mostly) ignored: the,and,to,at,of,on,a,off PIPES, TARGETS and ALIASES: You can send multiple "commands" on one line by separating them with a pipe character "|". To put that into an ALIAS, use two pipes "||". You can set a TARGET, and you can use that target in an in-game ALIAS by specifying "$$" (you may need to UNTARGET first). For example, you type "ALIAS mt murder $$ || get all corpse" and then "TAR GOBLIN" and you can now go around merrily typing mt to bash and loot goblins. LISTS: You can take advantage of lists to avoid using keywords. For example, typing "kill 2." will typically attack the first creature in the room. This is because the last to enter the room (usually, you) will be first in the list.
